Thank you to techtuts teaching me how to master my own recordings!!
Your guidance and patience is tremendously appreciated!

I have been a huge KIX fan for decades. Taking their limited touring schedule into account, I never thought I would have the chance to see the band live.
When it was announced that KIX would be performing at the annual Hair Metal Holiday festival in Dallas, I bought tickets immediately. I patiently taped every band on the bill while waiting for KIX to take the stage. I can safely claim that KIX blew ALL nine other bands off the bill! The only disappointment was KIX's brief 45 minute setlist. The obnoxious 5th generation pop-metal act, Slaughter, were scheduled to close the show with a 55 minute set. This really angered me. 
I believe KIX should have closed the concert with a 90-120 minute set!!! 

Slaughter sucks on so many levels!!! 
However, that is a story best saved for the liner notes of my Slaughter Hair Metal Holiday master recording...

I did tape the ENTIRE Hair Metal Holiday 2016 festival, 9 bands in total. 
Over 6 hours of crunchy riffs, banshee screams, and the moans of cougars in heat!
The sound quality varies.

I will release all of my Hair Metal Holiday master recordings as time allows.
All you need is just a little patience...

The Hair Metal Holiday show was the best entertainment value of the year! 
Nine bands live at an indoor hard rock festival, hosted by Eddie Trunk!
My ticket cost me only $25, which is 1/12th the price of ONE Guns N' Roses "Not In This Lifetime" tour ticket! 

I'd also like to extend a colossal THANK YOU to hedspace, for the reserved seat suggestion, and for keeping me hydrated during this marathon show!

This KIX recording is my first attempt at mastering a recording using the tools recommended by techtuts!
Feedback would be appreciated!
